Question

In a national survey of 1300 high school students, 32 students were found to have a part-time job. What percentage of the students surveyed have a part-time job?

1) 2.5%
2) 3.2%
3) 4.5%
4) 5.8%

Answer 1

The percentage of high school students with a part-time job is 2.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of high school students with a part-time job, we divide the number of students with a part-time job by the total number of students surveyed and then multiply by 100.

Therefore, the percentage of students with a part-time job is:

(32/1300) x 100 = 2.46%

So, the correct answer is option 1) 2.5%.
